Chapter 516 Prevention is better than cure!
This must be the longest she has meditated to date.
For a Soulmancer, meditating in a room for five years is indeed a very short period.
William remembered that during the era of the gods, some individuals would meditate in a room for over a decade and then die upon emerging...
And then there were the Soulmancers from the medieval period, who already had short lifespans, spending more than half of their lives in meditation.
Truly dull.
In the five years that passed, a lot happened.
Four years ago, Jhin passed away, and it seemed only then did the people of the world come to know of such a person.
He developed a complete set of technologies for ordinary people to become stronger through science. Three days before his death, he solved the core issue of establishing a strategic defense station in space.
That day, Jhin\'s hundreds of patents were made public.
Everyone found that all his patents were aimed at Soulmancers and even aliens that had never been seen before...
Because of this, even after his death, Jhin was not spared from being ridiculed by some.
They claimed he was delusional,where were the aliens in this world?
Learning so much yet not applying it practically was simply madness.
Until three years ago, an angel clad in battle armor with fourteen wings on his back and a demon with black flesh wings descended from the sky.
Their battle caused a hundred-foot tsunami, and the angel bisected an island nation on Earth with a single sword strike, which was then submerged by the tsunami.
A nation was annihilated in less than two minutes.
The people of the world finally realized the truth in the words of their ancestors.
Comfort is the enemy of achievement!
Prevention is better than cure!
Just as angels and demons were about to wreak havoc on the cities of ordinary people, a space ion cannon, devised by Jhin before his death, shot down from the sky and blew off half of the demon\'s head.
The angel, looking at the demon\'s corpse, took a deep look at this blue planet and then disappeared.
When William saw this news, he couldn\'t help but be startled.
The power of that demon was not much different from a Nature Deity, yet it was killed by a single shot.
What kind of miracle did Jhin create in just a year?
The power of ordinary people, slaying a Nature Deity!
William felt there was no need for him to intervene.
Humanity would continue their civilization in their own way.
The stronger the enemy, the more it would promote their development.
Without a doubt, since then, Jhin has been revered almost as a deity by the people of the world.
No, no, no!
They believe more in their own creativity.
Carrying on the iron will of their ancestors, they protect the Earth!
Since then, the number of people chasing stars has decreased. The Soulmancer academy expanded its recruitment again, and the 13th Bureau was officially renamed the Galactic Special Forces, not only recruiting powerful Soulmancers but also perfectly integrating technology and the power of Soulmancers.
During this time, William occasionally helped the Turner family with their business, fished, cooked gourmet meals, read books, and played cards with the elders nearby, enjoying a leisurely and comfortable life.
It\'s worth mentioning that Amy joined the Galactic Special Forces, displaying extraordinary talent at just ten years old.
To take care of Amy, Seraphina also joined the Galactic Special Forces.
Since that day, Seraphina has never appeared in front of William again.
It is unknown if it\'s related to William, but those collapsing parallel dimensions have not directly descended on Earth again.
Instead, they appear in the universe in the form of planets.
Previously, those parallel dimensions were of a different dimension than Earth, but now they seem to be in the same dimension, just at a much greater distance.
The Divine Realm, surprisingly, is the closest to Earth, sharing an orbit with it, which has caused considerable fear among many people.
One day, as William was playing poker with a group of seniors in the elderly activity room, Steven found William again.
On average, Steven sought out William about a dozen times a month, mainly to persuade him to join the Galactic Special Forces.
William was already accustomed to Steven\'s visits and did not take much notice of him this time.
"Steven, it\'s not very nice of you to come to William\'s house for a free meal again."
In the community center\'s senior activity room, the elderly people, who had become close to Steven, started to tease him.
Maria\'s father, Theo Hughes, chuckled and said, "Steven, is it because your granddaughter wants to date William? I tell you, William is very popular among the girls."
Whenever the elderly people teased him, Steven always responded with a smile and remained silent. His bulky suit and small eyes made him look like a serious, old-school figure.
"Steven, were you a leader before?"
"I think so too, must have been a minister at least."
"I think even more than that!"
...
Life among the elderly was very leisurely. Seeing someone like Steven, they would just gossip and chat,after all, Steven wouldn\'t get angry. With his hands behind his back and always smiling, he looked like a happy Santa Claus.
He stood by, waiting for William to finish the poker game. After saying goodbye to the seniors in the activity room with a smile, he left with William.
"Mr. Johnson, there\'s trouble!"
On the way home with William, Steven finally couldn\'t help himself and widened his eyes significantly.
William, however, calmly said, "Every day there\'s trouble, what\'s so strange about that?"
These days, something odd falls from the sky now and then.
The warriors of the Galactic Special Forces are getting stronger and stronger, with some Soulmancers using potions created by Jhin, plus high-tech equipment, greatly enhancing their combat effectiveness.
And in the 13th Bureau, there\'s actually a Quasi-Deity level powerhouse in place.
William really didn\'t need to worry too much.
Steven took a deep breath and said, "They\'re planning to launch a probe into the Divine Realm."
William was equally unconcerned: "If they want to launch, let them launch. What\'s the big deal?"
"What if it angers those deities? What then?" Steven said anxiously, "I know the deities of the Divine Realm should be very powerful, at least not something we can deal with now. Originally, their location is on the other side of the sun, and as long as we don\'t actively detect them, they might not discover our existence. But if we draw their attention, I can\'t imagine what will happen..."
"You could persuade them," William felt it was a simple matter.
Moreover, the powerhouses from the Divine Realm actually already know Earth\'s location, only those below the Nature Deity level don\'t.
Steven said helplessly, "The top leaders of our country did listen to my advice, but those guys from Country S won\'t listen! Once they discovered the Divine Realm, all they think about is occupying that planet. How can I persuade them?"
